First of all, I slept late. I'm a morning person myself, but I felt bad for Mommy and Daddy, so I decided to let them sleep in today. I'm a compassionate person like that.
Once we got up and moving, we trekked down to the Farmer's Market. That's one of our new Saturday routines, now that Daddy is down to only one job. But this week was extra special. Some friends of ours, who are part of a co-op with one of the farms (Whitton Farms), were out of town and gave us their weekly share. So we came home with a bounty of veggies, as well as a bouquet of flowers.
After a short nap and some playtime, Mommy decided we needed to get out of the house. So, the two of us went up to the church to play on the toddler playground, leaving Daddy watching football on the couch. Well, I think I tuckered Mommy out, so we didn't stay too long.
At any rate, we had to get home in time to get ready to go again. Like I said, it was a big time day.
Once home, we packed up a picnic and a blanket, then headed for the Levitt Shell. (In case you don't recall, the Shell does 50 free concerts each year, half in the Spring and half in the Fall.) We went to lots of concerts there in the Spring and the Fall season just started this week; in fact, today was the first children's show of the season.
The Billy Jonas Band played today and it was lots of fun--and the live show was way better than the recordings. All of us kids (and our parents, too) got to be part of the band. And we learned that almost anything can be a musical instrument, as Billy and his friends played trash cans and water jugs and all kinds of neat stuff. I danced and ran around, took a break to drink some juice, and then went back at it.
It was so much fun, a sign of things to come over the next month of free concerts. Tomorrow, we are going to see The Mystical Arts of Tibet, performed by Tibetan monks from Drepung Loseling Monastery-in-exile in India. Come out and join us if you can.

We need to relocate to Memphis. Your weekend is sounding WAY cooler than ours, which has consisted of loafing around the house, napping, and a quick run for diapers. Tomorrow we might MIX IT UP and go to the park. That's how we roll here. Y'all are big ballin' up there. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd we thought WE had a busy day here on vacation in St. Louis. Well, it was a lot of fun, though Grandmommy and Grandaddy don't have quite as much energy as you! HA! Have a good Sunday and enjoy the monks' music.
ReplyDeleteI hope to do Whitton Farms CSA next year again. I loved what we got before Emily came!
